Sounds like we could all use a drink. Together would be nice. When does the airship launch, Allan?

Actually I was thinking more along the lines of a good Scots hard cider. Then distilled into a fine whiskey which could be sold in Florida with squeezed mash going to make feed pellets for Australian Snooks. Then we can take half whiskey to put through the filtration process to remove any remaining particles leaving the golden remains of Golden Kickapoo juice. Splitting that in half we do a low temperature distill to bring down the alcohol less than 0.0% with the alcohol dripping back into the Kickapoo leave a sweet golden ambrosia fit for Neil and other discerning guest that enjoy a fine alcohol free beverage with a fine smoky taste.

Metal powder fusion-casting was around in the 70's in the making of diamond drills and saw blades, On the cyborg matter, I have no problem with the idea of growing a false steel beard like Chris and enjoying beer only through the addition of pleasure routines.

I'm not letting my vodka (brewed by Bulgarians next door) anywhere near a water filter. In fact, I don't let my water near a water filter. All sounds like filtering a craft beer to get Budwesier to me.

Fun fact: repeatedly pouring bottom shelf vodka through a Britta filter pitcher will turn it into top shelf vodka.

All good distilled liquor is aged.. vodka being a good distilled drink need some aging even vodka.. with 5 minutes minimum aging. We can legally call it aged.... Additives.. could be interesting. But i do not think cod liver oil and good aged vodka would cut it.. Good aged Irish moonshine..

I could go with the Auntie Molly brand. But it could sound too wimpy. and pochin can taste good warm from the still - so what's this 5 minute thingy? How do we get macho into something that doesn't kill you like nicotine and alcohol.

Not sure what really big means, but the biggest I've seen is probably at the Society of Manufacturing Engineers expo, about 6'x12'x12', the portable model used for shows. I'm sure the auto plants in the are have some in use already as the supplier companies attend at least a dozen various shows throughout the year, including the North American International Auto Show that puts almost a million people through the center in two weeks.

Vodka's not a health food?

Nah! I'd rather take a flight to Schipol and cadge some strong espresso from Allan. Have you seen any of the really big 3-D printers? Some of them are printing with plasma metals.

And there's no need for you to start casting aspersions just because someone else isn't!
